The teases Mully uses are starting to turn me away from a show I listen very little to. It really doesn't bother me when hosts tease a topic, so long as they address the topic in a timely manner. In the last week, Mully has teased two topics that had me intrigued. Last week he began mentioning that he and Hanley were going to announce the latest Bear FA signing "when we return". This was at 6:45. I was waiting to take a shower as I didn't want to miss who the signing was. I have to be at work by 7:20 so when 7:05 rolled around and they still hadn't announced who the signing was, I had to take a shower or go through an entire work day smelling like Dan Jigget's car seat. As I pulled into the parking lot at 7:20, Mully finally announced the Bears signing. WTF, Mully, a 35 minute tease?
Today at 6:25, they were discussing Vinny Del Negro. Mully said they had some must listen to comments that would shock the listeners from VD's pregame press conference. So I sat around waiting after the break. Next thing I know, they have callers calling in ranking the worst coaches in Chicago of all time. Finally before the next break, Mully mentions that during the 8 o'clock hour they will have Dan Dakich in studio and that during the 7 o'clock hour they were going to address Vinny Del Negros shocking pregame remarks. This pissed me off beyond belief. I have a freaking job to get ready and go to. I'm sure thousands of other listeners do too. Give us a break and address your teases after the next break. Who the fuck teases something for more than 30 minutes in radio? As much as I hate the bland ESPN radio, at least when they do their teases they address them in the next segment!
Unfortunately, their objective is to keep you listening - even if it pisses you off with a lengthy tease. Mike and Mike tease things that they never discuss.
